• Get to know your club's next young guns at the NAB AFL Draft Hub
• Who were the top performers at this year's NAB AFL Draft Combine?
GET inside the mind of two more highly rated draft prospects in AFL.com.au's new series, Going Places, which continues on Tuesday.
Since January, AFL.com.au has tracked Christian Petracca, Paddy McCartin, Jarrod Pickett and Lachie Weller on their paths to the 2014 NAB AFL Draft.
Going Places will take you behind the scenes of the biggest and busiest year of their lives, exploring the stress and excitement that comes with being a teenager aiming to make the top level.
We've learnt of Petracca's journey from an elite young basketballer to a potential No.1 draft pick, and listened as McCartin shared his ability to overcome health issues to become a top prospect.
Pickett wants to prove to people not all Indigenous players are the same, while Weller is keen to follow his brother into the AFL system having shifted states with his family to be closer to Maverick, who played at the Gold Coast before finding a new home at St Kilda.
The players discuss interactions with AFL club recruiters, the consuming nature of the draft, combining footy with school and work commitments, and where they hope to pursue top-level careers.
The series will continue on AFL.com.au on Tuesday with Jarrod Pickett's journey.
Going Places will also feature exclusive videos and photos, as well as match highlights of the four players, who are all tipped to be first-round selections at November's draft.
